Hello! I'm currently a freelance producer. Formerly at This Week on BBC One... Speaking of which (!) please don't use the comments section to personally abuse contributors or anyone else.. and don't be offensive. RU-vid auto moderation is turned on.
What Munroe has missed is black people are not homogenous. I would never be as insulting enough to deny her experience being informed by how she was racially treated, but another person of colour may and often do feel very differently. For example black people who I feel massively opposed to like Kemi Badenoch, Kwarsi Kwarteng and James Cleverly are dismissed as self loathing, uncle Tom's. I can understand Monroe dismissing white people's commentary on the black experience but when it comes to debating black people who disagree they need to not simply be dismissed. It's interesting and nuanced.
😂😂 just started stuttering. If we are irredeemably racist then how or what should we do? Since we are irredeemably racist shouldn’t we just give up then if we can’t do better then why try??
We are not 'rubbing along together' We are a fractured and increasingly polarised nation made up of multiple 'ghettoes' If government are going looking for anything ... they are going to find it wherever they look.
Cosies up to Putin... well during his administration no wars were started and he met Putin and Kim Jong Un. Now the west is in a proxy war with Russia who has the backing of China and North Korea 🤔
As ever, British pundits are ill-informed about American politics. Sanders lost because he was betrayed by the Democrat party, and that is why his supporters revolted the only way they could: by voting against the direct cause of that betrayal, Hillary Clinton. They would have accepted the result if Clinton's nomination was won fairly. It's a shame that Tom Walker was too timid here to correct their ignorance.
Everything Munroe said was spot on. God, so many white people (I am white by the way) are blinded by their own privilege, and the comments on this video confirm that!
THIS KIND OF ATTITUDE IS NOT HELPFUL AND SHE DOESN'T ACCEPT ANY OTHER VIEWPOINTS! SHE KEEPS FUELING THE HATE AND IS PROFITING BY THE RACE BAITING. SHE SEEMS TO HAVE DONE WELL IN A COUNTRY THAT IS ONLY SUPPRESSING CERTAIN POC. SO SHOULDN'T SHE BE SENDING A POSITIVE MESSAGE AND SHOW HOW SHE MADE IT. WHY IS ALL THE PEOPLE THAT MAKE IT COMPLAIN AND OTHERS GET ON WITH LIFE AND DON'T MAKE EXCUSE AFTER EXCUSE.
Believing all white people are racist is just as racist as believing all black people are criminals. You cannot fight hate with hate. Only love can destroy hate and only kindness can destroy darkness. Hypocriticism will never ever stop racism. It works both ways. Believing all white people are racist could lead to genocide. Lead to the massacre of millions of innocent people just because they're white just because of the color of their skin. If you believe all white people are racist you are no different than a nazi and you are no different than the confederacy.
When someone can't articulate their opinions or beliefs without shifting the premise then they obviously haven't bothered to research the argument fully and feelings don't override facts. Just another attention seeking woke idiot
We've never had slavery in the UK, so how monroe believes that they can see the legacy its left on the privileged whites is mind boggling. Slavery was abolished in 1067, i mean seriously read a book ffs
To understand white priviledge, I like to use this example... If Jesus was a black man, like Wesley Snipes black... still the son of God, saviour of mankind and all that. If Jesus being a black man bothers u then u are racist.
India has more university goers that Pakistanies. He said Indian, not South Asians. China has more university goers than all East Asian kids (bar Chinese). You've added this area comparison in your mind.
